“Not Elon Musk @iamnot_elon In addition to moving our headquarters to Texas, I have decided to completely close the X office in San Francisco. I am sick of the bad policies in the city. Am I making the right call?” – Not Elon Musk

Yes, you are making the right call. That’s a great decision to move to Texas. You are doing great so far. There are no supermen in California leadership apparently. So it’s a big burden for you, but you keep pulling through all of the burdens to achieve the outcome we all need.

This move to a ‘human safe society like Texas’ allows the future civilization we can develop to unfold with greater protection for life on Earth than would be the case if a tech corporation tried to design the future from within an ‘anti-human’ California political and economic environment.

The more interesting thing about your post, however, is your choice of outfit. Nice outfit! It’s almost as if you can “sense the coming of death,” as they say on “Star Trek: Discovery”: In the “Star Trek: Discovery” trailer, Saru delivers a chilling line: ‘My people were biologically determined for one purpose alone: to sense the coming of death. I sense it coming now.'”

This line underscores Saru’s unique ability and sets a foreboding tone for the series. His species, the Kelpiens, evolved heightened survival instincts due to being prey on their home planet, which gives Saru an almost supernatural ability to sense impending danger or death.

‘This resonates with the concept of superhuman beings in our story.’

Just as Saru possesses heightened abilities, so do the superhumans like Khan from “Star Trek: Into Darkness” and our re-imagined real-life Khan. This “modern tech updated” and thus re-imagined Khan, emerges at full capability level during and after World War III, representing the pinnacle of human potential from training regimen equivalent to Olympic and Professional heavy weight boxers, sprinters, power lifters, wrestlers, in addition to the improvements gained from the powered armour suit, including; “pre-battle hormone treatments for muscle build-out integrated into the unique armour suit systems, the additional strength from the built-in exoskeleton, and the built-in AI capabilities, & multi spectral sensory and communications systems”.

The suit’s advanced medical system delivers “physiology hardening treatments” continuously to maximize efficiency, combined with powered assault armour, local on-device AI system, multi-spectral detection sensory system, communications systems (in helmet and on portable armband in case pilot leaves the armour system), and “fully autonomous learning and engagement mode option for advanced AI threats while always passively learning from the battle space to adapt autonomous fighting mode operation in case it is needed to engage AI, or simply to provide automatic lesson generation and takeaway generation for the suit pilot for later post engagement review”.

Pre-Conflict Hormone Treatment for Muscle Build-Out Integrated into the Powered Assault Armour

Description: The suit includes advanced medical technology designed to administer hormone treatments that maximize muscle mass and strength. This system ensures optimal hormonal levels are maintained, adapting to the wearer’s physiological needs in real-time.

Scientific Analysis:

Continuous Delivery Mechanism: Purpose: Continuous or regulated hormone delivery maintains stable hormone levels, avoiding the peaks and troughs associated with traditional periodic injections. This stability is crucial for maximizing muscle growth and minimizing potential side effects. Mechanism: The suit uses advanced micro-pumps or transdermal patches to deliver hormones steadily over time. These methods are controlled by onboard AI systems that monitor the wearer’s physiological state and adjust dosages accordingly.
Typical Duration: Traditional Treatment: Normally, hormone treatments for muscle build-out take 8-12 weeks when administered through periodic injections. This schedule can cause fluctuations in hormone levels, leading to less consistent muscle growth and potential side effects. Suit-Integrated Treatment: With the suit’s continuous and optimized delivery, the treatment duration can be reduced to around 6-8 weeks. The precise control over hormone levels accelerates muscle development and enhances adaptation, making the process more efficient and effective. Users can activate the “Superman Option” when the threat level is exceptionally high, extending the hormone treatment duration to ensure peak physical performance and readiness for large-scale threats. This advanced option maintains stable hormone levels, ensuring consistent muscle growth and minimizing potential side effects, even under the most demanding conditions.

Key Benefits:

Stable Hormone Levels: By maintaining consistent hormone levels, the suit enhances muscle growth while reducing the risk of side effects that can arise from fluctuating hormone concentrations.
Optimized Performance: The continuous delivery system ensures that the wearer’s muscles are constantly receiving the optimal amount of hormones and other nutrients required for growth, leading to quicker and more effective results.
Real-Time Adaptation: The onboard AI system monitors physiological responses in real-time and adjusts hormone delivery to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety.

Post-Conflict Performance Maintenance and Reset to Normal

Tapering Off Hormone Treatments: Gradual Reduction: The suit gradually tapers off hormone doses, allowing the body to adjust and start producing its own hormones naturally again, preventing a sudden drop in hormone levels. Supportive Therapies: The suit provides nutrients and supplements that aid in the natural production of hormones, supporting the body’s transition back to normal hormone production.
Enhanced Recovery and Regeneration: Rehabilitation Phase: Post-battle, the suit switches to recovery mode, using advanced medical technologies to aid in muscle recovery and regeneration, promoting tissue repair and muscle health. Physiological Support: The suit promotes good sleep, reduces inflammation, and provides targeted physical therapy, helping maintain the physical gains achieved during the pre-battle period.
Natural Hormone Production Stimulation: Exercise and Nutrition: A regimen of strength training and proper nutrition supports the body’s natural hormone production. This includes exercises known to boost testosterone naturally, such as heavy resistance training. Supplements: Natural supplements, such as vitamin D, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, help maintain hormonal balance and overall health.
Adaptation and Long-Term Training: Long-Term Training Programs: After the initial hormone-assisted training, individuals follow a tailored long-term training program to maintain their performance levels or simply high intensity battle with AI systems which will be fine or networked cybernetic beings that have AI powered network they connect to. Monitoring and Adjustment: The suit’s AI system continues to monitor the individual’s physical condition, providing ongoing adjustments to the training regimen to ensure sustained performance.

In our narrative, the re-imagined Khan, equipped with power armour and temporary hormone alteration system, embodies Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch more authentically than through genetic engineering or lifelong steroid use. The system we have envisioned emphasizes continuous self-improvement, willpower, and strategic use of technology, ensuring that human potential is maximized without undermining the core values of human effort and resilience.

The integration of intermittent AI connectivity, similar to plugging in a key to start a car, but in this case an AI engine connection to the mind, further aligns with Nietzschean principles by maintaining human agency, independence, and the mastery of technology as a tool rather than a crutch. This is similar to how NEO in the Matrix plugs into the dangerous Matrix only at the time when the mission needs to be achieved, and is always in peril while there. By this same process, the AI connection to the pilot of the suit only occurs when the pilot activates the suit and actually wears it. This approach fosters individuals who strive to overcome their limitations, affirm life through their actions and values, and face overwhelmingly powerful adversaries with resilience and ingenuity.

Philosophical Alignment with Nietzsche’s Concept of the Übermensch

Context and Introduction: Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy, particularly his concept of the Übermensch (Overman or Superman), emphasizes transcending human limitations through self-overcoming, willpower, and the creation of new values. The use of a temporary, suit-integrated hormone treatment system to enhance physical capabilities before engagement aligns much more closely with Nietzsche’s ideas than permanent genetic engineering or lifelong steroid use (especially when it is used in the context of fighting a superior adversary even with this medical upgrade activated). Here’s how our envisioned Khan, equipped with power armour and temporary enhancements, adheres to Nietzschean principles.

Alignment with Nietzsche’s Philosophy:

Self-Overcoming and Willpower: Self-Improvement: Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch is centered on individuals continually striving to surpass themselves and overcome their limitations. In our narrative, Khan and his team must maintain peak physical condition through their own efforts and discipline, reflecting Nietzsche’s emphasis on self-overcoming. Temporary Enhancement: The temporary nature of the hormone treatments administered by the suit, prior to conflict, ensures that the enhancements are not a permanent crutch. Instead, they serve as a strategic augmentation in preparation for specific challenges, emphasizing the importance of willpower and preparation.
Creating New Values: Life-Affirming Values: Nietzsche’s Übermensch creates and lives by new, life-affirming values. By using the suit’s enhancements only when necessary, our real life Khan exemplifies a balance between leveraging technology and maintaining human dignity and effort, embodying the creation of new values that affirm human potential and resilience. Ethical Use of Technology: The responsible and temporary use of hormone enhancements ensures that the individuals are not entirely dependent on technology, aligning with the idea of using tools to enhance human capabilities without undermining human essence.
Facing Superior Adversaries: Struggle Against Greater Powers: Nietzsche admired those who could face and overcome significant challenges. In our story, real life Khan and his team, even with their advanced suits, are up against adversaries (like AI systems) that are exponentially more powerful. This dynamic mirrors the Nietzschean struggle against overwhelming odds, highlighting the importance of human will and resilience. Will to Power: The Übermensch embodies the will to power, not just for domination, but for self-assertion and growth. By preparing for conflict through intense training and temporary enhancements, Khan’s team demonstrates a will to power that is about maximizing their potential in the face of formidable challenges.
Ethical and Practical Considerations: Avoiding Dependence: Unlike genetic engineering or lifelong steroid use, which can create permanent changes and dependencies, the temporary nature of the suit’s enhancements ensures that individuals must still rely on their own efforts and discipline. This approach aligns with Nietzsche’s critique of dependency and his advocacy for self-reliance. Holistic Development: The combination of physical enhancements, cognitive augmentation, and advanced armour ensures that the individuals are developed holistically, reflecting Nietzsche’s ideal of the Übermensch as a well-rounded, superior individual in all aspects of life.
Intermittent AI Communication: Maintaining Agency and Independence: The suit’s design includes intermittent communication with AI systems, only when needed. This ensures that the wearer is constantly challenged to learn, evolve, and problem-solve independently, maintaining their agency and independent thinking. Mastering AI Interaction: The suit includes careful monitoring systems that ensure humans master the interaction and schedule with AI systems, preventing the AI from doing the thinking for them. This avoids forming a dependency relationship where biology follows AI, an is reliant in incoming information from AI instead of actively searching and engaging with AI and architecting AI operation and processing, instead ensuring that the AI interfaces with the person as a tool to enhance their problem-solving capabilities, serving to shorten the basic tasks while allowing for higher level imagination and seed ideas to originate from humans as often as possible. Encouraging Cognitive Growth: The AI system prompts the wearer to think and answer questions, detecting knowledge gaps without spoon-feeding information. This approach encourages individuals to figure things out on their own, preserving their discovery process and cognitive development.

Additional Reflections on Nietzsche’s Philosophy and Modern Challenges

The true challenge lies in balancing this potential with the kind of inner strength that Nietzsche emphasized. Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch is about transcending conventional values and creating new, life-affirming values. It’s about using one’s will to power not just for domination, but to affirm life and human potential in a meaningful way. This moral and spiritual strength is essential for true superhuman development.

As we lead into the future, the critical question remains: Which path will we choose? Will we guide humanity towards a future where technology enhances our inherent virtues, embracing the life-affirming values Nietzsche spoke of, or will we fall into the trap of power and control? Vision and leadership are pivotal in shaping this trajectory.

In regards to comments about being on ‘Team Human’ or ‘Team AI‘: “There are four teams, not two teams. The key to the future might just be whether two of four teams are actually good teams, with good decisions, and that one of those teams is humanity as it is, and the other is humanity as it can become (enabled with supreme Power Assault Armour/Angel Suits).”

A Time for Supermen and their Power Assault Armour, Instead of Super AI and Transhuman Networks

Friedrich Nietzsche is a complex philosopher whose ideas can be interpreted in various ways. His concept of the Übermensch (Overman or Superman) is central to his philosophy and is often associated with the aspiration for higher values and human excellence. Interpreting Nietzsche is not simply advocating for “good values,” as that would be a reductive way to conceptualize it given the complexity of his thought.

Here are a few key points to understand Nietzsche’s philosophy better:

Übermensch: Nietzsche’s idea of the Übermensch is about transcending traditional values and creating one’s own values. This figure represents the highest potential of humanity, someone who creates meaning in a world without inherent meaning. The Übermensch is an individual who embraces life, overcomes nihilism, and affirms existence despite its challenges.
Will to Power: Central to Nietzsche’s philosophy is the concept of the “will to power.“ This is not just a desire for domination but an intrinsic drive to grow, achieve, and assert one’s existence. The will to power is about creativity, ambition, and the affirmation of life.
Critique of Traditional Morality: Nietzsche was critical of traditional Christian morality, which he saw as life-denying and based on ressentiment (a form of deep-seated resentment, frustration, and hostility). He distinguished between “slave morality,” which values things like humility and obedience, and “master morality,” which values things like strength, courage, and nobility.
Eternal Recurrence: Another important concept is the idea of eternal recurrence, which challenges individuals to live their lives as if they would have to live them over and over again for eternity. This idea is a test of one’s ability to affirm life fully and joyfully.
Life-Affirmation: Nietzsche advocated for a life-affirming philosophy where individuals embrace their instincts, passions, and the full spectrum of human experiences. He believed in facing the harsh realities of life without resorting to illusions or false comforts.

While Nietzsche’s philosophy is often seen as radical and challenging, it does indeed emphasize the creation of values that enhance life and human potential. He encourages individuals to transcend mediocrity and embrace a more profound, self-determined existence.

Conclusion

In our narrative, the “re-imagined real life 21st century Khan and his team” are equipped with “power assault armour/angel suit” that includes several advanced features:

On-Armour AI System: This system provides real-time assistance, data analysis, and decision support to the wearer.
Multi-Systems Communications Capabilities: This allows seamless communication across various communications platforms and with other team members or the various communication systems used on Earth.
Networking/Mesh-Networking Capabilities: This enables multiple power armour systems to connect and communicate, creating a networked force that operates in unison, or to connect to hyperlink the AI systems for additional capability and heightened real time autonomy coordination.
AI Combat Adversary/Environment Learning: The AI system continuously learns from combat scenarios and environmental data to improve performance and strategies.
AI Autonomous Combat Operations: The armour can function autonomously in combat, at faster speed and higher sped than when interfacing wit human mind thus relying on the slower biological neural network, either as a single unit or as part of a synchronized network of AI-enabled power assault armour agents, executing coordinated maneuvers and tactics at incredible speeds and quality levels when faced with advanced AI threats that humans cannot deal with alone or in the slower biological/synthetic AI speed setting. (Full speed synthetic AI combat mode available for use.)
Temporary Hormone Alteration System: This built-in feature administers temporary hormone treatments to enhance and develop muscle levels and physical capabilities, such as muscle strength and endurance, during pre-battle preparations. (In preparation for next conflict period.)
Angel Wings: Each blade of the Angel Wings has it’s own vectored thruster, and when the blades combine, the angel cuts through air and space at incredible speed like a DarkStar, but it would in fact be a Blue Angel. One day soon… Not just Fight! Fight AND Flight! Fly higher! Fly Faster! Fly Forever! It’s not a coincidence America is the Eagle. And it’s not a coincidence when new baby eagles are born, they fall to the ground before they learn to fly. Lockheed Martin, you can fly. You need to pick up the baby eagles in America, so that they can soar above all else instead of fall to their death, but to soar like a magnificent Eagle as America did in the past, for another 250 years and then forever. Make it so! Engineer away!

This combination of features allows the re-imagined Khan to embody Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch more authentically than through genetic engineering or lifelong steroid use. The system emphasizes continuous self-improvement, willpower, and the strategic use of technology, ensuring that human potential is maximized without undermining the core values of human effort and resilience.

‘The integration of intermittent AI connectivity, similar to plugging in a key to start a car, but in this case an AI engine connection to the mind, further aligns with Nietzschean principles by maintaining human agency, independence, and the mastery of technology as a tool rather than a crutch. This is similar to how NEO in the Matrix plugs into the dangerous Matrix only at the time when the mission needs to be achieved. By this same process, the AI connection to the pilot of the suit only occurs when the pilot activates the suit and actually wears it. This approach fosters individuals who strive to overcome their limitations, affirm life through their actions and values, and face overwhelmingly powerful adversaries with resilience and ingenuity.’

Ultimately, this system ensures that the future of human advancement aligns with life-affirming values and the pursuit of excellence, embodying the highest potential of humanity in the face of evolving technological and existential challenges.

Note: “You can do it Elon. Join the right team, the Power Armour Team! Not the Transhuman/Borg/AI Team or the AI Team. It’s just a matter of bio-secure interface design and compartmentalized access with time-limited AI interface sessions instead of continuous and non independent operation. Don’t give in to the desire of the AI promising you eternal capability. Remember, the Devil promises the world, but gives a different result when you iwsh for everything.” 🫡

@IsaacBotkin “This is the next thing.”

@SkillsGapTrain @IsaacBotkin This video is incredibly exciting, as it highlights the essential role T-Rex Arms is playing in preserving and distributing critical knowledge. The idea that AI in the future might not be tailored to assist in sensitive areas like medicine, farming, survival, public safety, firearms education, sports shooting, hunting, police science, military science, crisis and emergency management makes your focus on physical books even more valuable.

…especially since coders and feedback trainers and corporate leader are tampering with knowledge from the distant and traditional past such as re-interpreting philosophy from the 1700’s as they see fit and in confusing ways in modern times within AI models, so as to make their current perspectives seem logical, when in fact is not in alignment with all of history at all.

Mainstream AI companies are unlikely to train their systems with the kind of data that could help individuals in dangerous situations, which leaves a gap in access to essential survival and tactical knowledge. And they are really like to favour cloud models, instead of on-device AI models, if not at first, but in the long run they might fully revert to this (greed and power seeking behaviours).

In a future where technology and knowledge will be paramount for survival (ex: Great Filter, Fourth Turning, etc..), your approach of printing and distributing quality versions of military manuals, self-defense guides (wrestling, boxing, martial-arts, mixed martial arts, knife fighting, kendo, katana), and tactical books is crucial. As threats to citizens, soldiers, and law enforcement escalate, having an AI assistant to help with farming, bush-crafting, medicine, or military strategy would be invaluable…

— but without access to these key sources of information (the data as PDF or text), people are not going to be able to import the library PDF into the AI model so as to “upgrade” the model for personal capability enhancement reasons, for armband AI field unit.

The firearms community, which often faces overreach and encroachment on its activities, should take note of this and protect the valuable knowledge available today. Your company should collect from the gun community all PDFs on all of these subjects and related subjects into an archive of 10 000 PDFs that are not royalty up to 100 000 PDFs that are not breaching royalty ,and sell it at scale. In the future, then this can be loaded into personal on device AI units, enhancing the capability of citizen by an enormous margin (and increasing the capability to deal with advanced AI threats and future military/terrorist threats).

By ‘locking in’ essential data and distributing it widely, future generations will have access to high-quality information to pair with AI systems, enabling better decisions in crises and dangerous situations. Selling books is essential. Selling a hard drive data loaded military knowledge pack and related knowledge packs unit, is essential to guarantee humans aren’t left behind by more powerful and more capable AI’s in the real world.

Your initiative to preserve physical copies ensures that critical information remains accessible, un-tampered, and resilient against the potential scarcity of data in the age of AI an against EMP threats.. (it only takes one nuke, and there are over 12 000 nukes already that can wipe out all the data, so the books are essential).

They are cracking down on the internet. But what this actually means, its’ not the cables they hate, it’s the data. Everyone’s data is in danger. Just look how much the internet was shut down in India as an example.

Data is the real currency of the 21st century. It’s the actual element that provides freedom, not just the communications system. It’s the data itself that is the free speech. Keep up the great work in providing quality resources that will undoubtedly play a vital role in future preparedness and citizen capability improvement in citizen authority level. Thanks for your contribution and exciting shows.

@SkillsGapTrain @IsaacBotkin

Hi @IsaacBotkin “It’s a great idea to ask for input, as there are many ways to solve these complicated problems, but really too many choices and approaches to consider. Here’s a good idea, to expand upon the options of the previous post, and maybe it will help, either now or later on.

In an era where data has become a fundamental currency and survival skill, the focus of T-Rex Labs and T-Rex Arms on preserving critical military and tactical knowledge is not only timely but necessary. As the future unfolds with possible global crises between 2020 and 2050, including wars on an unprecedented scale, the importance of decentralized, tamper-proof systems for storing and accessing vital information cannot be understated.

Many mainstream AI systems will likely bypass or be restricted from sensitive areas such as firearms education, military science, public safety, and survival knowledge, leaving a significant gap in data availability, either initially or later on, depending on “environmental factors”.

T-Rex Arms’ initiative to distribute quality military manuals is a critical starting point. However, to truly prepare citizens, police, military personnel, and ESPECIALLY dying rural communities for future challenges, decentralized systems like Filecoin and Arweave can offer robust solutions for preserving and sharing data.

Here are the official websites for Filecoin and Arweave:

Filecoin: filecoin.io

Arweave: arweave.org

Context: To address the gap, the idea of creating a collection of PDFs — thousands of manuals and guides covering essential areas like medicine, survival, firearms, crisis management, and military strategy — is key. (royalty free, ones that are not breaching copyright).

These PDFs can be stored on personal devices that can be sold at T-Rex Arms or T-Rex Labs web store, but also, can be distributed through blockchain-based decentralized storage systems.

In this context, Filecoin and Arweave stand out as the best decentralized storage platforms for long-term use.

They offer open-source, decentralized solutions beyond the control of elite institutions, ensuring the preservation of knowledge even in the face of widespread internet blackouts or censorship.

Filecoin: Purpose: A decentralized storage network designed to safeguard critical data, incentivizing users to contribute their storage capacity to create a global, secure cloud.

Open-source: Developed by Protocol Labs, Filecoin is fully open-source, allowing free collaboration and innovation.

Decentralization: Filecoin relies on a global network of storage providers, ensuring resilience against centralized control.

Control: Being community-driven, Filecoin operates beyond the reach of elite institutions, providing a more equitable and secure way to store data.

Ideal for: Long-term storage of military manuals, survival guides, and public safety information that may be vital during future crises.

Arweave: Purpose: Arweave focuses on permanent storage with its “permaweb” concept, ensuring that data can be stored immutably forever.

Open-source: Arweave is open-source and built to engage the community, encouraging decentralized contributions to its ecosystem.

Decentralization: With its unique “blockweave” structure, Arweave ensures high levels of decentralization, which prevents tampering and guarantees long-term access.

Control: As a fully decentralized system, Arweave is resistant to external control and censorship, ensuring that the data stored remains free and accessible to all.

Ideal for: Storing critical military documents and manuals, scientific research, medical knowledge, landscape knowledge, engineering knowledge (electrical especially), mechanical engineering knowledge, software engineering knowledge, shooting knowledge, farming knowledge, preservation knowledge, hunting knowledge, and survival knowledge that requires permanent, immutable storage for future generations.

Conclusion: In the face of escalating global challenges, Filecoin and Arweave are ideally suited to preserve crucial tactical and survival knowledge.

They provide decentralized, tamper-proof systems that ensure data resilience against censorship, manipulation, or catastrophic events like EMPs.

T-Rex Arms’ role in guiding the firearms and tactical community towards leveraging decentralized storage can “bridge the gap” in data accessibility.

By empowering users to secure and upload important data, and offering tools and guidance for navigating decentralized systems, T-Rex Arms can help safeguard critical knowledge for future citizens, first responders, military personnel, and preppers.

Such efforts can ensure that future AI systems, whether on-device or in crisis-management situations, can access vital knowledge, enabling people to make informed decisions in moments that matter most.

Such an approach is a forward-thinking response to the limitations of centralized systems and mainstream AI, giving communities the tools they need to preserve freedom and survival in a rapidly changing and increasingly threatening world.

PS: We would enjoy to see a video from your channel on decentralized data storage and decentralized messaging systems as well. (not Signal, but actually without central server).
